2. Photos and videos of you on the rides!

Exciting action shots that only happen at Walt Disney World – like a photo of you plummeting down Splash Mountain or a slow-motion video as you zoom around a corner on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

3. Dining with Mickey & Friends

Escape the crowds and spend some time with your favourite Disney Characters over a delicious meal. The best part is, you can have as many hugs as you like!

Keep the precious memories forever - Disney Photopass Photographers are on-hand at select restaurants and dining experiences to take your picture as you get to know Mickey and his friends.

4. Don’t forget to ask for Magic Shots!

Is that Tinkerbell in the palm of your hand? Or Pascal on the top of your head?? Just ask your photographer for a “Magic Shot” and they’ll add Disney Characters and other fun surprises to your photos!

How do I link photos to my Disney Account?

Just scan your MagicBand or Card - it's that simple!

On-Ride Photos

When you disembark a ride you’ll see a wall of screens showing the photos that were taken.

If you are wearing a MagicBand, you don’t need to do anything - attraction photos & videos automatically link to your My Disney Experience account.

If you don’t have a MagicBand, just scan your card on the touch point next to the preview screen that displays your photo

With Disney Photopass Photographers

Whenever you have a picture taken by a photographer, they’ll make sure to scan your band or card.

How do I get a MagicBand?

Currently only people staying at a Disney Resort on-site hotel get free MagicBands, but they’re also available to purchase for about $13 at various points around the Disney Theme Parks.
